‘Homeless’ directors undeterred
by Storm Callum
30th October 2018

Three VEKA Group Directors took part in the first ever charity Sleepout event held at Burnley FC’s Turf Moor ground, helping raising £3,714 towards a total of over £28,000 for the three charities, Burnley FC in the Community, Emmaus Burnley and Jane’s Place, with of that coming directly from VEKA sponsorship.

Marketing director Dawn Stockell, who took part along with sales director Neil Evans and finance director Graham Fitton, said: “I’m proud that the event raised so much valuable funding for the charities involved. The weather was horrendous on the day of the Sleepout, but rather than call it off or postpone the event, everyone was determined to make it happen.

“I think the wild weather conditions, due to Storm Callum, actually made the whole event even more poignant, considering that we were doing it to support vulnerable people and victims of homelessness in Burnley. For us it was only one night, but many people have to sleep out in all weathers every night of the year.
